Fa gging at Eton.

Tagging is not easy work at Eton.
Fags not only have to wait on their fag-
masters at almost all hours, to bring
them water and to look out for their
rooms, but they even have to cook for
them. All the boys of a house take
their dinner together. but excepting in
two or three houses where a new rule
has been made, every one has his break
fast and tea in his own room. And for
these meals the poor fags are cooks and
walters. There is even kitchen pro-
vided for their special use where they
boil water, brew tea, and toast bread.
Many heartaches have there been in
those little kitchens. Fancy a young
ster just out of the home nursery, you
might say, being set to making toast,
when he knows as little about it as he
does about Latin verses! And yet, if it
is not all right. his fastidious master
will take him to task with all the in
d;gnation of disappointed hunger and
then send him off 10 do his work over
again. But he grows hardened by de-
grees TO this work, just rs he does to
verse-making. and in time can joke and
laugh us he cooks. And if while he
talks he forgets his toast and lets it
burn. what matter? With little ex-
perience lie learns to scrape off the
black with knife. Elizabeth Ru6tns

The Coyote aud His Haunts.

A picture of the great plains is in.
complete without coyote or two, hUr-
rying furtively through The distance.
The coyote is VIOLA woif about
two-thirds the size of that one which
haunts forests and the pages of story
books. He has a long. lean body; legs
a tritle short, but sinewy and active;
head more foxy than wolfish, for the
nose is long and pointed, the yellow
eyes are set in spectacle frames of black
eyelids. and the hanging. tan-trimmed
ears may be erected, giving a we'll
merited air Of alertness to their wearer;
tail-straight as a pointer s-also fox

nary 1upine type. and a shaggy, large

fail;
Top-eared and lar2e-jointe.i. but ever AWAY
A thoroughly vagabond ouicast in grey"
Such is the covote-qgRHs loci of the
plains; an lsmaelite OF the desert; con-
sort of rattlesnahe and vulture; the
tvrant of his interiors; jackal to the
puma; a bushwnacker upon the fianks
OF the buffalo armies; the pariah of his
own race. and despised by mankind.
Nithal, he maintains himself and his
tribe increases; he outstrips animals
tleeter than himself; ne foils those of far
greater strength: he excels all his rivals
in cunning and intelligence; he fur
ishes TO the Indian not only breed of
domestic dogs, but in many canine
races ranks as earliest progenitor; ne
becomes the center of myths. and final
ly is apotheosized.
Our coyote is Il true Westerner and
typities the independence, the unre-
strained gayety and brisk zeal which
enters into the heart of him who sights

however, he was common enough in the

Some Japanese Ways.

''Ieil me something about social life
IN Japan said the reporter. ''Edrst of
all, have you any dudes over there9'
Gomati at first did not ''catch on"
but understood what the scribe meant
when fashionable young men" was
substituted for dudes. He remarked that
the swell young men i'll the city of To-
Rio had their clubs like Europeans,
where they went to pass the time
Everything European and American"
he said, lis considered the height of
fashion in Japan among the high
toned people. Three years ago the
sack-coat was all the rage. The mass
of people. however wear the old-time
costumes. European dress is adopted
in the army and navy, by courtiers, and
by the police"
The reporter in the course of con-
versatIou elected other interesting data.
japanese young men of fashion visit the
girls Just as they do in this country,
take them out to restaurants, and fill
them up with ice-cream They have
balls and parties where waltZing is in
dulged in al libitum. The waltz, how
ever. is recent innovation, but it Is
liked by the japanese exceedingly. The
costumes of the ladies in Japan are
more in consonance with the dresS-re-
form movement than those of American
and European girls. First of all no
corset is worn. The long silk sash sup
plies the place of steel and whalebone.
This sash Is wrapped round and round
the waist loosely. and the ends hang
down behind. There is no large. elab-
orate bow pinned against the back, like
those seen in the representation OF the
"Mikado' on the stage.
Some of the ultra-fashionable girls of
Toxic. however, have adopted a method
of making their waists look smaller ac-
corling to the European modes, but no
corset is used-simply belt buckled
around the waist.
The ladies are fond of picking the
strings OF the banjo. and are up to the
times in fashion winch has been
greatly IN vogue among American girls.
Japanese girls prctuIy attire them
selves in much the same underwear as
American women, but their stockings
are built more on the order of a mitten
for the hand, there being Il separate re-
ceptacle for the big toe.
A very curious fact the reporter
CLEANED from the interpreter was this:

have very old types OF faces.-Baiti-

A BOSTON Society Episode.

Introdurtions of strangers are ant to
be at all times lritlc embarrassing. but
particularly SO at crowded receptions,
where people arc sprung On each other
without the least preparation. The
other afternoon a man was walked up
10 a lady by the hostess, presented, and
abandoned 10 his fate, the lady having
caught only her own name, which GER
tainly did her no good. A keenness for
hearing ones patronymic is not natural,
but in this instance it was the stranger S
name she desired to know, for his face
was new, and evidently he was not of
Boston, nor BostOnese. However,
hoping it would dawn upon her later
on, she began to chat in the customary
small-talk-reception vein, and then,
seeing Mile Rhea in the distance. she
asked this handsome unknown: Had

A Boston Girl and New York
Man

A Boston girl came over to New York.
She amused herself very well for sew
eral days, among other pleasures in
ciudiug the beautiful display of chry-
santhemums at Cosmopolitan hall She
was delighted with it. The splendid
shocks of snowy and tiame-colored
blooms and the new japanese seedlings
that look as if nature had copied them
from decorations on Japanese jars, and
the clean, fresh, curious perfumes,
filled her cultured soul SO full of sentI-
ment that it bubbled over for the bene-
lit of a New York man. He came to
call soon after her return from the
t1Ower-shOw. He was q charming
young person who never by any acci-
dent polluted his person with any article
whatsoever manufactured in this coun-
try. He was turned out complete from
top to toe in English goods, and his
gait on the avenue filled beholders with
the widest awe and delight; it so closely
copied the true Thoroughbred style.
The important details of dress had occu-
pied his waking hours so closely that
he had found but little time to unbend
his mind over a book. and other mat
terS even more important had escaped
his attention, among them the flower
show, which he happened not to have
heard of.
1--we just come from seeing the cnry-
santhemums," said the enthusiastic
young woman from Boston; land ohi
1t was such a treat | never enioyed
anything so much in my life. Have
you been yet?'
NO." he drawled out aloud, think
tprr IL
girl talking about, anyhow After
rapid but profound reasoning he came
to the conclusion that, being a Boston
woman and addicted to literature, the
thing she had been to was something
partaking of an intellectual nature, and
probably science judging from the long
and unpronounceable name. So he re-
marked lightly that really he didn't
60 much into that sort of thing now
it was out of his line, too deep entirely
for him"
The Boston girl stared. What do
you meane Cnrysanthemums too deep?"
"Well, you KNOW" said the hapless
youth. putting his foot deeper into his
mouth every time he opened it, .'that
one has to do such an awful lot of read
ing to keep up with these scientific
things, and for my part never enjoy
them unless l am quite up on the sub
ject they're talking about" He felt he
was getting skilfully over difficult
question, and continued, with graceful
self-contidence, TO add few delicate
and artistic touches to his position.
"Wnen ever l go to this sort of
thing" he declared. 81 get works on
the subject anu read up thoroughly. so
that / can follow the speaker with in
telligent interest; but I'm too awfully
busy just now to do that, and SO cut
the Nineteenth Century club, and the
chrysanthemum, and all the rest of il. !"
The Boston girl gasped a few times.
and then said she supposed that he
really must work awfully hard, and it
really was no end of pity he had had
to give up his studies. But before she
went back to Boston she told the story.
and the young man has gone out in the
country 10 stay some time with his sis
ter. The Boston gIrl says she thinks
New York men are delicious, simply
